I'm a Gen X too. Since the start of 2000 I feel like i am on this weird theme park ride and I am wondering wtf is going on in an increasingly confused and worried manner. And not just regarding the gender cult. Did i do acid and am I on some weird trip?

We just had a rainbow dildo monkey hired to get kids to read. Surely this can't be real life anymore?

It's because US liberals (and, liberalism in general) have lost their minds since the end of the 1990's.

When GWB was elected, it started a cycle/spiral of "whatever they (conservatives) do, we must oppose on fundamental grounds, because they have ~bad thoughts~ and those bad thoughts are harmful". At first, this was about sensible stuff: LGB rights, environmentalism, anti-war, etc. But then under the Obama years and with the rise of social media, it started to shift. There needs to be new "progress" especially as the former big ones (especially gay marriage) were won. Out of the skeptic/new-Atheist community came SJWism, which quickly evolved into wokism. It's a black-and-white ideology that directly parallels a strange mix of Catholic, Calvanist, and other ultra-protestant thoughts: you are born bad, you have no salvation except by random chance, you must constantly atone for these sins, and you must speak the magic words when prompted to let others know you are a Good Person. Coupled with the dominance of social media, this created a powder keg.

Then the Lord Satan Himself, Donald Trump, somehow won the presidential election of 2016 against the Good and Noble Girlboss Kween Killary Clinton and all hell broke lose. Suddenly, that same energy that was channeled against GWB in the 2000's was amplified a thousand-fold. Absolutely anything he does, says, thinks is good, or promotes is automatically evil heresy. Despite not actually being that nuts compared to the Fundie nutjobs in the Repub party, he was evil incarnate. Cue the SJW shitstorm. I'm pretty convinced that about 90% of genderism is due simply to Gen Z thinking that being "LGBTQWTFZYX" is a counterculture to those "dirty old men Republicans like Trump". Then, pandemic, and he loses 2020 but does his stupid LARP on Capitol Hill, giving the liberals yet another endless boogieman. And now we get Critical Race Theory and similar woke jargon on top of gender jargon. Anything that calls itself "progressive" is immediately latched onto by these liberals because they're "on the right side of history". And gosh darn it this rainbow dildo monkey says he's the new bastion of progressivism which means he must be! Right. Side. Of. History. Dammit. You. Bigot. And let's not even get into the cultural imperialism they impose on the rest of the world with "latinx" and similar crap.

You are on a weird trip, but it's not your fault. They laced our culture with the black acid and we're along for the ride.

Wow. As a Gen Z who was a little kid during Obama, this is very insightful.

Distractions from the real, actual boogeyman which is going to be very difficult to deal with and require us all to change our lives: climate change.

Lmao it was exactly like that. My mom actually has a framed Obama poster in her room and loves Hillary, so this resonated with me. She told me she voted for Biden in the primaries because "the highest proportion of black women favored him". It took me two hours to explain Critical Race Theory to her because she kept interrupting me telling me it's important not to omit slavery from history and other very basic and simple non-racist ideas, and she was implying that I'm racist the whole time. She literally thought Critical Race Theory meant thinking critically about race and racism. No girl, it's the opposite: an ideology, and a shit one at that.

Glad to provide some insight ;-)

I was a young teen when GWB was elected, so I've watched this cycle happen twice now. I'm sure a lot of Xers have seen it thrice. It escalates every time. Post-Biden is gonna be a shitshow and a half, I can't even imagine. If we get that far...

Precisely. The petro-dollars keep flowing to the billionaire class who are now playing games about leaving Earth while the rest of us boil alive arguing about idpol bullshit.

Bingo, it's a whole lot of horseshit. All Critical theories are, but they couch themselves in so much impenetrable rhetoric and jargon that you are forced to give Cliff's Notes versions to lay-people, which are then heavily distorted to hide the actual truth (or, lack thereof) of the arguments. Postmodernism was a mistake, and not for the reason Peterson-esque conservatives think.

Ominous... what do you mean by "if we get that far"? We definitely have another four years before climate change takes us out.

Couldn't've said it better.

Climate change, more civil unrest, major natural disasters, could be a number of things - but I am being a bit hyperbolic here ;-)
